Subject: Zoning & Planning Fees
Purpose of Item:
Ordinance of the Miami City Commission amending Chapter 62 "Zoning and Planning", Article VI,
Zoning and Planning Fees, " of the Code of the City of Miami, creating a new subsection 62-156(D)
entitled "Manner of Fee Payment," adding a provision that sets for the requisite manner of payment by
certified or cashier's check of money order for the collection of certain specified fees in excess of
$100.00.
Background Information:
In order to obtain certain types of permits, i.e. Class II, MUSPs, etc. applicants may be required to
make payments towards funds such as the Affordable Housing Trust Fund and the FEC Corridor
Improvement Trust Fund. Traditionally payment could be made in the form of personal or corporate
checks. However, recently two payments were made, by different entities, that were returned by their
respective banks due to insufficient funds. In total the checks were in excess of $548,000. Through
the persistent effort of the Planning Department, the City was made whole and full payment has been
received. As the Department moves forward in establishing new procedures and in an effort to avoid
future occurrences, it has been determined that it is in the best interest of the City to accept such
payments in the manner described above and that said manner shall be codified.
